Datasheet

DCM Console provides accurate power and thermal data from servers and networking
equipment. This information enables Data Center engineer’s visibility and control of server
power consumption and temperatures for better datacenter capacity planning, power based
metering, and alerting.
Intel® DCM Console features include:
Monitoring
 Real-time monitoring of actual power and temp data of serves, racks, rows, and rooms.
 Enabling alerts based on custom power & thermal events
 Enabling user-defined logical groups aligning systems to business units
 Collect server asset tag, system status, and serial # of HP, IBM, Dell out of band.
 DCM Console supports CISCO Rack & UCS devices
Trending
 Logs power & thermal data, query trend data using filters
 Saves 1 year of history data for capacity planning
Control
 Group policy patented group policy engine
 Supports multiple concurrent active power policy types at multiple hierarchy levels
 Accepts workload priority as policy directive
 Allows scheduling of policies including power capping, by time of day or/and day of
week
 Maintains group power capping while dynamically adapting to changing server loads
 Intel Node Manager 2.0 support for memory power limiting and dynamic core allocation
Agent-less
 Does not require installation of any software agents on managed nodes
Easy implementation
 Device inventory pre-scan using IP ranges
 Exposes high level Web Services Description Language (WSDL) APIs
 Can reside on an independent management server or co-exist with ISV product on same
server
 Power / thermal aware scheduling – airflow and outlet temp. modeling (OEM dependent)
 Outlet temperature sensor (OEM dependent)
Scalability
 Manages tens of thousands of servers
